Moonrise: The Power Of Women Leading From The Heart

Many today find themselves being called toward greater leadership on behalf of the Earth, toward leadership sourced from their inner authority and inspired by what they love and are dedicated to protect, transform and strengthen. Those successfully heeding this call have embraced the qualities previously relegated to the “feminine” - inner awareness, collaboration, relational intelligence, respect for the sacred and generosity - and married them to the best of their “masculine” attributes to create a new form of leadership more inspiring, inviting and effective for transforming how we live on Earth and with each other. This anthology presents more than 30 essays from eminent women trailblazers - such as author, Alice Walker, psychiatrist, Jean Shinoda Bolen, playwright, Eve Ensler, holistic doctor, Rachel Naomi Remen, biologist, Janine Benyus, hip-hop performer, Rha Goddess and famous tree-sitter, Julia Butterfly Hill - as well as lesser-known, but equally influential leaders - such as social entrepreneur, Judy Wicks, philanthropic activist, Kathy LeMay, food justice advocate, LaDonna Redmond and media professional, Sofia Quintero. Their narratives explore how they cultivated their leadership impulses and their “feminine” strengths, reinventing leadership to prioritise community, collaboration, the environment and the common good. Illuminating a path to progressive environmental and social change, their passionate stories of joyful, creative, collaborative and sacred leadership ignite within each reader the power to help co-create a healthy, peaceful, just and sustainable world. • Contains more than 30 essays from successful women leaders, including writers Alice Walker and Eve Ensler, psychiatrist Jean Shinoda Bolen, holistic doctor Rachel Naomi Remen, hip-hop performer Rha Goddess, and famous tree-sitter Julia Butterfly Hill • From Bioneers president and cofounder Nina Simons
